My W200 has worked on startup maybe once out of 50 boots. I don't know
why. I have to open a root shell, and do this:
modprobe -r orinoco_usb
modprobe -v orinoco_usb
Then I have to go to the Gnome network config and activate the wireless
interface.
A dmesg shows that the firmware isn't downloaded correctly during the
boot process, so hence I have to unload and reload the module.
